Why AI Isn’t Ready to Tackle Our Convoluted Genomes
TL;DR
The DNA inside our cells isn’t just a series of instructions, but something far more dynamic. Like scientists, AI models don't yet have the data to properly decode it.

Nauti's Take
Teams applying AI to genomics should audit the data foundation before trusting model outputs: are cell types, three-dimensional DNA structures, and relevant environmental conditions actually represented? Individual results need independent validation and broader datasets, especially since the current framing is based on a single Wired report.
